All the students had already told their goodbyes to their parents and were soon seen in school with their luggage. The S-Class Magnus' had already said their goodbyes and left with worried as well as angry faces. They couldn't even bare to tell their children goodbye due to the fact that their hearts were too heavy to bid goodbyes. Mr. Chizaki was in charge of their accommodation as he was the one that registered them and placed them in different rooms. They were four in each rooms but was not a mixed gender arrangement.
Xiao Yan was assigned to his room, A50. He climbed up with his bags and opened his room, only to see his roommates. Although to his, some was expected while others came as a surprise. Blaze, Ja-El and Chanie were his roommates. He first went to drop his belongings before extending a hand of greeting.
"How was your training? Knowing Sir Pete well, I don't think he will give a light training to you." Chanie said with a smile.
"I bet you. I had the most gruesome training ever. How about you guys?" Xiao Yan was climbing on the ladder of the bunk to the bed above.
"Fuck those S-Class bastards had fun thrashing us.' Although we learnt a lot." Blaze said with a smile.'
"How about you Ja-El?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
"…..'Not bad. Although it was challenging, it was worth it."
Suddenly they heard a big blast. Xiao Yan looked at the three of them before the four of them bolted out of the room. Xiao Yan and Ja-El was in front but Xiao Yan was ahead. He used his lightning and propelled with flame and wind1 at the same time.
Although Ja-El and the rest were surprised, they didn't stop running. Other students began following behind. Xiao Yan who was ahead smiled. These students were really different from when they all fought. He knew that they were now stronger than before. Both their force, magic power and pressure were thicker than before. Xiao Yan had an edge, mostly because he was a cultivator.
The students were strong, but they were not stronger than Xiao Yan who was a body cultivator. During those three months of harsh training, Xiao Yan was not only cultivating his power. Wudi made him train his body for six hours before sleeping. He also tempered his body with lightning energy all during those six hours for three months, so there was no way an average cultivator would be stronger than Xiao Yan.
On reaching the training room where the blast was heard from, They saw Sako and Marie were having a go. It was as if they wanted to kill themselves. From the fight, it was obvious that Sako was stronger than Marie by a little. It was a sight to behold. Sako was not giving Marie a chance to breathe and Marie wasn't giving Sako the chance to organize her attacks.
The students saw that the teachers were already watching the fight even before the students had arrived.
"Such energetic students you have. They already at it minutes after coming back to school." Ancalagon smiled.
"I just hope they can be strong enough to face what's coming ahead of them." Pete said with a sad face.
Ancalagon understood Pete's concern. Who would find out that the planet they loved was gonna be a siege arena and their children have slim chances of escaping the onslaught and would be happy about the findings?
Soon, all the blast came to an end as it seemed like both of them had exhausted their mana. They both stoop opposite each other panting like tired dogs with fixated eyes on themselves. The only beautiful thing about their showdown was that they were both smiling throughout the fight. It was clearly a friendly showdown.
"You are stronger than I expected Marie. I didn't believe it would ever be this hard to battle you." Sako smiled bitterly "Do you think I was resting throughout my going home? I trained everyday without rest. Although it was not enough to beat you. Hehehe seems like it was all for naught." Marie was also bitter despite the smile that was on her face.
"Hehehe don't sweat it. I still respect your hard work. I will also work hard to get stronger and stronger."
"Just know that am not gonna let you off the next time we battle." Marie's face beamed with a smile.
"I'll take you on that then."
Suddenly there was hails of clapping all around. That was when the duo knew that they were watched throughout their fight. It was now embarrassing.
"That was a nice fight." Suddenly a familiar pressure was felt.
"Hehehe now he wants to get a go huh. Now things are getting interesting" Ancalagon smiled broadly.
